Nets are great for pinning down bats and giving you a couple more turns to ranged attack Satan.Heal meals and gingerbread heads are also useful, but limited by their rarity (and the fact that they don't stack in inventory) Red, Blue and Yellow Potions for healing and mana regen.The most important items for this fight are: It may be that magic defense also contributes to evading magic attacks, or I may have just gotten lucky. With a lot of HP and a high +X robe, you might be able to get to the point where you can survive two attacks in a row.įinally, I think it's worth noting that although leather armor has a much higher evasion rate, anecdotally, I have found that I actually evade more of Satan's area of effect attacks in robes. As I had 40 HP, this is pretty insignificant. The high magic resistance on the Robes dropped the damage from Satan's area of effect attack from 28 to 25.
Thanks to the crashing bug, I have tried the fight with +1 robes and +3 leather armor. For a Wizard, only leather armor (for dodge) or robes (for magic resist) make sense. So, for Crusaders, it may pay to use chainmail or plate if you're going to get hit by bats a lot. Using the Wizard, teleport should let you avoid the bats, unless you're in a really desperate situation. Perhaps more importantly, teleport allows her to escape the bats while continuing to deal damage with ranged spells. Not only does the Wizard have the mana to deal significant ranged damage with the wand, but a fully upgraded Amyfist spell does a respectable 25ish damage against Satan from almost anywhere on the level. Or, at the very least, the Wizard seems much better suited to this particular fight than the Crusader. EDIT: The bugs in the final fight have been fixed! In any case, this makes it extremely difficult to kill him, even if you're well-prepared. This seems to be precipitated by Satan's area of effect fire attack killing one of his bats, but I'm not positive. After a crash, you must start the fight over. The longer the Satan fight goes on, the more likely it is that the game will bug out and crash. EDIT: I have now successfully beaten Satan with these strategies, so they definitely work. I still haven't killed Satan, but I believe I've figured out what the important factors in the fight are.
I've played through the game another 10-20 times, and I've learned a few things. Is it even possible to get the necessary equipment on one playthrough, or are you pretty much required to build up an epic locker stash of +5 everything or enough food to let you level up to 15?įinally, although I've been playing as Crusader, if anyone has experience as a Wizard, I'd welcome that strategy.Is he immune to status effects? Is Heal worth maxing out? Is Whack of Glory effective when you can only actually melee attack him one out of every four or five turns? What skills are most effective? I tried using Searing Blade, but he didn't get "softened".I guess you could throw arrows and keep your shield, but their accuracy and damage seems greatly diminished when thrown. I found that I was taking so much damage each turn I could barely keep myself alive, let alone do significant damage. What is the best weapon setup? Since Satan's melee attack knocks you back several tiles, I thought bow and arrows might be the answer, but then you don't get to wear a shield.The only physical damage comes from the bats as far as I can tell. This seems odd to me, since Satan uses Unholy Fires every turn when you're at a distance, and his melee attack looks magical as well. What is the best armor for this battle? In the high scores, I see lots of plate and leather armor wearers.I've used trial-and-error to improve my strategy up to this point, but since it took 10 or 15 games just to get to him once, I'd like to have some idea of what I'm doing the next time I manage to get to the bottom of the dungeon. However, I think I barely tickled him before dying. After changing my strategy a number of times, I've finally managed to get to Satan as a Crusader.
